Nah. It'll get "creamed" by some cranky purists in the dark corners of the genre blogosphere for being "poor SF." But if it's a
good story, it will sell and readers and author will be happy regardless of it's "mis"-labeling. Genre borders are only going to get fuzzier and fuzzier. Those who stress over it are only denying themselves enjoyable reads for silly meta-reasons.
